Sorry, I had to resize some of them really small so I could get them under 128 kb, they were pixelating horribly otherwise.

She can be a model. Bride or Model shoot?
Nicely done.
#2, the O.E. flower takes favor over the brides face.
Second last one, Bridge pipes coming out of body.

Anyway, TFS, lovely work.

Very beautiful!!

Did you take these on the same day as the wedding? I've never seen a bride that calm..

She was an actual bride.  The shoot was a few weeks before the wedding.  The flower in her hair was fake and then real on the wedding day.
I will watch those pipes... although I don't know if I can do anything about it in the future.  I have had other brides request that same pose in that location.  I guess if they don't care... I just won't be submitting any shots to a competition (not that I do those anyway).

Susie,

On this monitor, these all look a little red.  However, this one is not calibrated and, even if they are, it can be corrected in printing.

First off . . . she is a stunning woman, with a great look that we would all love to photograph!  I almost cring when I get a bride who looks like this becuase people think "anyone could photograph her!"  Now, we all know that is nonsense, but there you go.

Tiny little suggestions, if I may . . .

Number 21:  Move her right elbow out away from here body a little.  This will provide more of a "base" for her body.

Number 28:  Is incredible!  I love this image.  I have a weak spot for single flowers . . .

Number 19:  Has her arm extended the way that I suggested for 21.  You can how this is better than if her arm were vertical.

Number 29:  Although I wouldn't worry too much about the railing sticking out of her side, you can always move her to the right and have the bridge next to her instead of behind her.

In all this is a great sequence!

Thanks, as always, for your advice.  I really enjoyed this shoot.  It was actually a challenge because her dress was very fitted.  It required paying a lot of attention to body positioning.  The big poufy dresses are more forgiving. 
Anyway, thanks for the advice about creating a base... I know those are elementary things you learn in How to Take a Picture 101, but in practice I forget.
